Committee
WMlt and Johnson should carry
San Francisco by 6.CCO. Those backing
Wilson and Marshall are everywhere de
pending upon a combination of the La
Follette backers, rnacy of whom really
think Wilson is a progressive, and the
laft reactionaries who know that Wilson
has the 0. K. mark of Wall street.
The majority of the voters can not be
fooled by a man or a party making an
appeal to the public, end having
the secret approval cf the specia.l inter
ests which have misled Taft.
If Wilscn is elected and congress is
democratic, as it probably will be, Cali
fornia will know all the eviis of a "tariff

able disturbance of business conditions
and lack of employment.

DEMOCRATS WILL WIN
LOUIS H. MOOSER
( hiiirntsin Democratic County
Central Committee.
I expect Wilson and Marshall will
;arry San Francisco by 10.000 over Roose
velt and Jchnson at the very least. I
believe that the democrats and the Wil
son supporter* in the fourth congressional
district will roll up more than S.CCO ma
jority for the democratic standard bear
ers. I have been informed that the fifth
congressional district will swell the total
for Wilson and Marshall to 10.CC0 or
more.
Personally. I believe the democratic
majority in this city will be a surprise to
nearly all of u». Wβ have left no stone
unturned to insure the election cf all the
democrats on the ballot. I feel conSdent
that a majcrity of the democratic candi.
late* in San Francisco will be elected.
The situation thii year is unusual, and
points on all side* to the eacceee of the
democrats. Wβ, who have been direct

Odds for Wilson Still Higher
Much Less Than Usual Risked
[Special Dispatch lo The Call]
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.— Belling on ihc election "has lively today,
the odds in favor of Wihon jumping up to 510 1. A bet of $2,500 lo
$500 u>as made this morning and another of $5,000 to $1,000 this after
noon.
Betting men in the financial district scry that this has been the quietest
election from a betting standpoint that they have ever seen. Four years
ago, it is estimated, nearly $750,000 9<u staged on the result, while this
year it is doubtful if the total amount will reach $150,000. One of the
reasons for this is that the laws now in force make it hard and rather dan
gerous for a man to baclf his choice with money and another reason is that
the odds have scared a lot of people who otherwise would have wagered.
In small bets the odds are 4 lo 1 on Wilson. A bet of $800 at 3

$100 even was made that Wilson would carry all of the states south of
Mason and Dixon's line.

VICTORY FOR WILSON
GUSTAVE BRENNER
Chairman Repuhllcnn State Ceil-

The disfranchised republicans will vote
for Wilson, not because they want to—
they don't—but their stomachs have been
turned by the doe* the ao called progres
sive* have administered to them by their
outrageous and shamelees action, and the?
wiil swallow the bitter pill of voting for
a democratic nominee rather than not
vote at all. so as to defeat the perpetra
tors of this political crime.
Then the high class progressives, in
whom the spirit of decency and fair play
tbe icolatTO :s wrsV'i rf
individual, will either not vote at all. or
will vote for Wilson, knowing that thsy
wou:d stultify themselves and their own
consciences if they cast their vote other
wise.
I believe that all these considerations
will contribute to defeat the bull moose
candidates and result in giving the state
to Wilson.

PREDICTION FORT.R,
DANIEL A. RYAN
Chairman Progressive State Ceil-
tral Committee.
There it no doubt in my mind $h*t
California will go to Roosevelt and
Johnson. It can not very well do
otherwise, for it practically took the
initiative in the progressive cause. It
made, itself progressive first, and then
sent its governor forth to preach the
doctrine throughout the United States.
This state, as Governor Johnson ha*
stated, has been an inspiration to the
people of the United States, and the
eyes of the nation are now turned
toward it to see, whether or not it will
continue on in its forward movement.
San Francisco will do its share toward
the general victory in the state. I am
convinced that RoosevaH and Johnson
will carry it by at least five thousand.
I make this estimate after personal in
vestigation and diligent inquiry. The
cause lias appealed strongly to the people
cf oiT city and they have great faith
in Governor Johnson as well as in
Theodore Etoe«ev«lt.

J. O. DAVIS
Chairman Democratic State Ceil-

The selection of the next president of
the United States h*s already been de
termined by the American people. To
day they will ratify their selection by
the election of Woodrow Wilson. No
well informed observer doubts that Gov
ernor Wilson will be elected by an over
whelming majority.
We are entirely confident and happy
over the situation in California. Reports
from every county in the state indicate
that the democratic nominees will be vic
torious and the electoral vote of Cali
fornin will be cast for Wilson and Mar
shall.
San Francisco county will return a
heavy democratic majority. We wiil get
good majorities also in the Sacramento
and San Joaquin valleys and our majori
ties will be particularly large in the
counties along the Sierra Nevada moun
tains. We have, ♦■very reason to expert
a plurality of 30,000 in the state. Wβ

legislature and will elect a number of
Vote for the Sixth Amendment
Makes Possible a Greater City
rHE most important amendment on the ballot to be voted on ISlovem
her 5 is the consolidation amendment, sixth on the ballot.
This amendment gives constitutional permission for cities and
counties to vote for or against consolidation. It does nothing more.
San Francisco needs this change in the law. The onl}) way it can
ever grow beyond the boundaries that were given it in 1856 is by the pas
sage of the sixth amendment.
An inspired opposition has spread broadcast a Tvcb of misstalements
regarding the consolidation measure. Remember that the only purpose
of the measure is to give permission to cities to vote on consolidation. No
other question is involved.
The amendment is fair and just and binds no people or community to
consolidation without their consent.
Will you vote against the prosperity and the growth of San Francisco,
the exposition city, or will you cast your ballot for progress and justice?
Every other city in the state of California can not extend its bound-
Every other city in the state of California can now extend its bound-

STRONG FOR WILSON
GRACE B. CAUKIN
Secretary Women's Committee* of
the Democratic State Central
Committee.
Two weeks ago we would have conceded
the state to Roosevelt and Johnson, but
tnday we find this sentiment has changed
wonderfully. We had a fair chance to
judge this from our tag day today and
the number of people who expressed opin
ions favorable to Wilson and Marshall
from both local and country districts.
Some of those who told us that they
would vote for Roosevelt said in the next
breath; "Oh. but your man is the win
ner."
The women have every reason to be
proud of this, their first real campaign.
We have worked under difficulties, as
some people have so often willfully mis
represented our suffrage movement in this
state. However, we have made such a
good, clean campaign that, we have no re
grets.
If only the question of suffrage could
have been postponed for a month in those
eastern states* where they are now work
ing so hard for the ballot we feel that it
would have helped them greatly, but the
result will be the same in the long run.

ren C. Lash, the young women's hus
band, because of lirr friendship for an
other man, aro believed by the police
to have Influenced Mrs. Lesh to sur
render herself ami confers b,ar crimes,
in addition to her evinced desire to
"start life over again with a clean
slate."
'My husband and T COttMj never
she said, "and when T found
a place as housekeeper at the home of
William Junker, who is a foundry fore
man for a machinery company, he got

he would have married me if I had a

without knowing what it was, he a<l -

It caused me trouble.
After a thorinieh exantinatioo, Doc

was a victim of hereditary Influences.
An inherited taint may have caused the
girl to poison two women who had
done her no serious wrong, accord
ing to the alienist, just as another

may have responded to the kindness
she met at the hands of the man at
whose suggestion she appears to have

MRS. CHARLES H. BENTLEY
President of the Winiian'N itooMe-
velt I'CaKur
It has been a splendid campaign and
we are ending our work with an abound
ing hope of triumph at the election to
morrow. The women progressives of San
Francisco have striven with an indefati
gable zeal, and, although it is their first
experience at a general election. J think
they have done much creditable work.
If the proportion of Roosevelt and John
son votes will be as favorable among the
men as among the women, we shall have
a large plurality in San Francisco.
I am inclined to be optimistic and I do
not believe that State Chairman Ryan
is overstating the situation at all when
he predicts a lead of 5,C00 or 6,C00 for
the progressive ticket. It is difficult to
determine what is the exact preponder
ance of Roosevelt strength among the
women of California, but that there is
an important preponderance there can be
no quesuon.
We sh.-Ul of course, win California, and
I hope tS*t we shall so great a
plurality th< t it will be in the nature of
a magnificent tribute to our national
standard bearer;.

WILSON IS THE MAN
RAY W. RIDER
Secretary of California Branrn
UlUnn National Progressive
KeiMihliean League.
Wβ know that the La Follotte repub
licans—at least 90 p*r cent strong —will
vote for Wilson. Wp have had durir.-r
the iast six months the assurat
thousands of them throughout the Btat«
to t.iis effe-t.
Careful estimates of the percenUfo of
Taft republicans who will vote for VQ
son today show approximately 75 per
cent; in some localities this will be
higher, in others less, but we believe
that 75 per cent is a fair average
throughout the state as a whefe.
We know that never in the history of
the democratic party has it been co sol
idly united aad go inspired by the leader
ship of any man as it has been during
this campaign under Woodrow Wilson.
Finally, we know that there is but one
candidate who strikes at the root of mo
nopoly and all evils in its train, eueh as
the h ; gh cost of living, which constantly
advances while wages remain practically
stationary. That candidate is Woodrow
Wilson. *
These are the reasons which giv« mem
bers of our league confidence that tndav
will witness a victory for Woodrow Wil
son in this state.

Municipal Greatness
An enthusiastic finish was given Last
night to tho raotp&itn for the adoption
by tho people of California, today "'"
tho sixth amendment that will
possible .a .greater San Fi^ncisco.
The final day of the Campaign
made notable by'the general disj' .
enthusiasm in Otis city in support of
the effort to bring oopt I fell vote f<sr
tho amendment and by a pronounce
ment in favor of consolidation by =<
special representative of the London
Chamber of Commerce, who lias come
from England mi a tour of Investiga
tion through the United States.
An automobile parade through the
streets of the city served la?t night
to bring the amendment, to the atten
tion of the voters. Each machine was
placarded with ;i "Vote for a Greater
Han Francisco ' .sign.
i,o>DO\i;it says i;xpani>
AY. J. Thompson, the special repre
sentative of the London Chamber of
Commerce, declared himself in rigorous
terms for consolidation at an Informal
luncheon yesterday noon, given jointly
by the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce and the San Francisco Commer
cial club at the clubrooms. He said.
Undoubtedly yours is the great
city of the west coast of America.
l/i">Vt at your great natural harbor.
with its milrs >>f wharfage; look *
your matchless. Invigorating cli
mate.: look at the unparalleled e*i
ergyof youi- citizen? in rebuilding
within a few short years after the
world's most appalling catastrophe
a new and more beautiful cl.tj
steel and concrete, the com men i
center of a t remnodus teriii
closely adjacent thereto.
Borne business friends In anotl ■■
coast cKy, which shall be name
less, told me that their city alPead
had passed San Franei=<o in p
of population. I couldn't under
stand it until I came here and
pointed out to me on mips of
two cities how the one ba.i
out and anexed town after town
the adjoining districts, whei
San Francisco is limited to an area
many times smaller.
Il\«» ni(iHT TO EXPAND
Of course San Frandeco baa ■
right to expand. Any one watc ,
the great crowds of people wi
come up Market street from I
ferry building every morning need*
bo further argument to < ■.•nvino*
him thai this great mass of people,
whose business Interests .'ire in San
Francisco, have a rigid to a vol< c
In the management of the city, and
that the city has a right to coont
these men and women, who are San
Franciscans in everything but the
game, as citizens of this great c<
monwealth in reporting this ell
population.
I understand th<.t one of the cities
serosa the b»Y i ; opposing the
formation of tiiis great merger of
cities having common interest;- and
a common destiny. To me v is in
comprehPTisible that any one should
oppose so just and natural :\ de
vpfopment as the consolidation of
the eomtnunltlefl which surround
your Wonderful bay and together
form the nucleus for one of the
world's greatest and raofl impor
tant ports.
Thompson's remarks were greeted by
prolonged applause.
